“…Distal radius fracture is one of the most common fractures seen in Accident and Emergency departments (Jedwabinski et al, 1996;Jupiter, 1991;Kedra and Pielka, 1998;Skowronski, 2003). In most cases, it is managed conservatively with primary closed reduction under local or regional anaesthesia and then immobilization in plaster of Paris (Altissimi et al, 1986;Bacorn and Kurtzke, 1953;Earnshaw et al, 2002;Jakob et al, 1999;Kedra and Pielka, 1998;Lindstrom, 1959;Porter and Stocklej, 1987;Sarmiento et al, 1980;Skowronski, 2003;Toh and Jupiter, 1995;Young and Rayan, 2000).…”
